Hunter and the Dirty Jacks - Salt Whiskey lyrics

Of soiled fields, she gathers grave rye She needs no wood to crucify The burning saves, reason she enslaves And I won't be back for days Evil moonshine Puts bad thoughts in my mind To her will I become resigned Ol Scratch adds His damned soul brew At the crossroads I ordered a few Pre-Chorus 1: Where she comes from, why she's here What she builds with a laugh she burns down with a tear I cannot quit her I can't put her down Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown Chorus: She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x2) V 3: She adds a dash of wasted seven years And salt of mistake childrens' tears Stilled in water It's past song she sings How it went through beggars and it went through kings Pre-Chorus 2: She won't show you your future only where you will fail How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale I cannot quit her I can't put her down Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown [Chorus] V4: Ground is dry, sun on my side Holster heavy as my pride Place I left, a good man had died When she my only guide V5: I can't stop While my heart beats Good people pray for rain All I ask, Lord what I pray, Is for my love to stop feeling like pain [Pre Chorus 2] She won't show you your future only where you will fail How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale I cannot quit her I can't put her down Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x4)
